which idemili people are we talking about here cos there are more than 4 -5 idemili tribes in both Anambra and Imo as far as I can remember
We are obviously talking about the 17 communities which make up the present Idemmili North and south L G A of Anambra state. Idemmili derived from the name of the goddess of the river(idemmili river) which flows through these communities from Obosi. It was claimed that these pythons served as a messanger of this deity in the olden days, hence eke idemmili ( Idemmili python). It is a taboo to kill the pythons and what is more, they do not harm the natives. I could remember when my Grandmother ordered one out of our compound. The animal increased its pace until it left the viscinity.

Pls for those that just decide to write what they are not sure about Idemili does not exist just in Anambra state but also in Imo (close to Orlu region) and I hear there is also an Idemili around abia (that one am not sure about)








yƟƲ are not even sure of what you're typing, people that reside in east knows the idemili I am talking about, even those that reside at the idemili in iMo state knows that I am talking abt the idemili at anambra state which host many town like Obosi, Ogidi and many others. I am sure of what I am typing

In my mother's village,the sure way to end a marriage is for the man to throw the wife's cooking pot out of the house in anger
Once that is done,the marriage is over and irreconcilable or the man dies
Re: What Are Cultural Taboos In Your Village Or Area by Prettiepearlz(f): 11:51pm On Dec 04, 2013
AdannayaBella: In the Idemili area of Anambra state, killing pythons is a taboo. Apparently, if you kill one one, you have to bury it in the manner a human is buried, with a coffin, grave and all that. Crazy crazy crazy stuff.
A friend once told me this issue of not killing python and if u end up killing,u'll do d funeral rights as that of a human,I never believed her. But now I believe.

Red_Card: I'm from Ndele and we forbid a lot of things. We can't make love on the floor, in a car, boat, ship, air plane, hotel built in water, etc. The taboos are so many that I can't name them all. I regret being a native of that village. Juju plenty for there eh!

Eeya, kpele. Chai! Couples' s.ex life must be really dry and monotonous in that area. I mean, not being able to spice up the moment with adventures and varieties.
